much right to the money as another, and II there
was not enough money to do all the work, then he
believed 1t only justice that each street should
nave It's proportion to use as far as 1t would 60
Col Ludlow said that that was perfectly absurd.
He said that the Commissioners have no right to
expend the money In this way, or say that one
square on this street shall be improved at the ex-
pense OF another. II there Is not enough money
appropriated to do the work the Commissioners,
In their Judgment, select such streets as 1t is ab
soluteiy necessary to improve and then cut out of
the schedule enough OF the remaining streets to
make up the denciency In the appropriation.
Col LUDLOW asked Mr.. Larner for what Commits
sioners the restrictive legislation in reference to
diverting street appropriations was intended II
not for the present Commissioner
Mr.. Weller came to the rescue but-failed to sat-
tsfy COL Ludlow that the adoption OF that reso-
luton by the committee was not intended to
convey charge against the present admtnistra-
uon Of District affairs.
Mr. Larner replied very warmly that they
DID NOT INTEND TO MAKE iNsINuATIoNs
against the Commissioners and said that II they
do make any Col Ludlow might be assured that
the committee would bring facts to support their
charges. He said that he wrote that report, and
LnaC II tneIe had been cause for 1nSinuattOnS It
would not nave been 1nSinuated but would have
appeared In black and white
Arguments OF this character occupied the re-
ma1nder or the session, and finally after quiet had
been IN some measure restored, the gentlemen dis
perSed.
The Commissioners promised that when the
schedule should be sent to them it would be given
careful consideration.

THE CONvICTS, MUTINY.
Further Particulars Of the Means
Taken to Compel Their SubmisssOn


KNOxvILLE, TENN, Sept. 21.-For some reason
the 1uI particulars OF the mutiny OF the convicts
at Coal Creek can't be obtained. The Knoxville
Iron CO. is very reticent about the affair." An in
SpectOr returned from the mines yesterday and
says the troubles have been settled. On last
Thursday at the dinner hour the convicts refused
to leave the mines. They claimed that the food
was so bad and the tasks so heavy that they could
no longer endure II, and that they would remain
in the mines until better fare and more humane
treatment were promised. The guards would
promise nothing and the conytctS refused TO move
an inch Every effort was made TO remove them
to the stockade peaceably, but they held OUT
against the threats and entreateS born OF deSpera-
tiOn. Then, 1t is said, the guards fired into them
wounding several negroes; but this is denied. AT
any rate, Friday afternoon they shut OF the VEN
tilation, and on saturday afternoon the conv1cts
yielded TO the men. The closing OF the ventilation
shaft drove them TO the mouth OF the mine, and
there they crowded around the opening, nghJfng
among themselves for front seats. They endured
the most excruciattng tOrtures before giving up,
and IL said several OF them were entirely exhausted
when they surrendered. Mr.. Burrows states that
everything is quiet and that he apprehends no fur
ther trouble.

Col. 1ngersOIl's Opinions.
HIS IDEAS OF ANARCHISTS AND THE NATIONAL REPuB


LICAN CANDIDATE
Col. Robert G. IngersOll was the guest OF the
New England Club, which dined at Young's In Bos-
ton Saturday night. The topic discussed was 'The
Anarchists" and IngersOn when called on said: l
do not agree with you who say the anarchists
were convicted and sentenced as they deserve.
Few who speak in this manner are willing to look
at the case in o generous light. Remember the
conditions OF their birth; Sir, II had been Ger
man, surrounded by all that bigotry, should
probably have been the most violent OF anarchists.
They are not and cannot be to blame. In their
serf-tke state It Is hard for them to discriminate
the nlcety OF the ends by which they obtain JUS
tice. am always on the side OF mercy. l don't
believe In damning men for confidence secured by
fraud, by breaking and entering a mans private
safe, and thus securing evidence with which to
secure his conviction"
About 1880 pm MT. Ingersoll took the Boston
and Albany train for New York. A Herald re-
porter asked him to favor him with On exposi-
tion Of his views regarding the national Campaign

LONDON, Sept. 27.-The last frontier incident will

whole is prudent, though It is growing more
alarming. Liberte points out that it is possible to
conceive that Bismarck would give Instructions
that soldiers should be posted on the frontier to
SHOOT French sportSmen, as there are goou many
poachers on the border lands, on whom Keepers

Special Gable Dispatch to THE EVENING Star.
LONDON, Sept 2G-Some curious underhand
maneuvering is going on about the land pur-
chase In Ireland. The point OF Lord Randolph
Churchtlls speech was his advice to Bal
four to postpone his promised scheme to
see how the present act works. Obviously IL
land purchase is to come within the next two
years home rule will come as direct result. The
tories know this. / do not believe they really
dread II, but they are not anxious 10 hasten the
end unless there is tremendous pressure on the
part or the landlords II is just possible that land
purchase Will be pushed back somewhat further
IL Is said that chamberlain means TO take new
departure In Ulster, and to outline a scheme OF
land purchase with municipal rather than impe-
nal guarantee He has also a scheme OF local
government which he will challenge Gladstone TO
accept or repudate Whatever he may say he is
handicapped by the fact he has thrown himself
into the arms OF the Orangemen who are making
extensive preparations for his reception.
